In their single paragraph ruling, the student jury wrote: 'We the judges of this trial panel find that your actions on July 17th were shameful and put members of the community at risk. You yourself acknowledged saying "it's a good thing you are here because, otherwise, these people would have been speed bumps."' 

Olha Stefanishyna, Ukraine's deputy Prime Minister, said there can be 'no doubt' the hospital was deliberately 'targeted' by Russia in a chilling echo tactics used during the bombing of the Syrian city of Aleppo while Putin's men were fighting alongside dictator Basahr al-Assad's troops.

Which is what happened to Keira.

At 16, far too young to give informed consent, she was referred to GIDS. After just three appointments she was prescribed puberty blockers to stop her periods and breasts developing before starting to take the male hormone testosterone a year later. 

'There is an increasing trend where people think it's OK to discriminate on the basis of race as long as the discrimination is against whites or Asians or others, and we don't accept that,' Cornell Professor William Jacobson said in a recent interview

On Monday, school reps confirmed they were re-evaluating the graduate studies program after a Cornell University law professor William Jacobson filed a complaint with the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights.

The internship previously set out to 'prepare students of color and Native Americans for graduate school' and includes a $6,000 stipend for participants, according to a description on the school's website

In January, the Department of Education unveiled details of a repayment plan overhaul that could halve monthly payments for many federal student loan borrowers.

But one group, the 3.7 million parents who owe parent PLUS loans, won´t benefit. Policymakers have long excluded parent PLUS loans from most relief, though the program looks much different today than it did during its 1980 debut.

She insists she told a trucker blocking the road she was glad he was there to avoid a repeat of the 2017 Unite the Right rally, when a white supremacist struck and killed anti-racism protester Heather Heyer. But Bryant claimed Bettinger had suggested she wished to harm George Floyd protesters 

She first expressed concerns about the length of the waiting list at GIDS in a letter to NHS England in May 2021. It's taken a further nine months for this report and it is only an interim one.

It will be months before we have her final conclusions. 

While parent PLUS loans were initially intended as a tool for well-off families, says Robert Kelchen, a higher education professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, they´ve increasingly become the loan of last resort for lower-income families.

House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, put out a list of more than $750 billion in possible spending cuts last month. Atop the list was repealing Biden's executive order providing some student debt forgiveness, which would restore roughly $400 billion to federal coffers.

The Prime Minister said Mr Putin is in charge of a 'cynical, barbaric government' and he believes Moscow could resort to deploying chemical weapons after its invasion stalled in the face of fierce resistance from Ukrainian forces

Asked if it was his expectation that Russia will use chemical weapons, the premier said: 'I just note that that is what they are already doing [preparing a fake story].

It is a cynical, barbaric government I am afraid.'

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Pennsylvania is very 'close to Biden's heart' and that the president, who was born in Scranton, sees it as a 'second home' after Delaware, where he served as a senator.

Some $670 billion to $1.2 trillion could be raised by removing limits on the payroll taxes that fund Social Security. But that would be a tax increase. The GOP opposes tax hikes, and the increase would also violate Democrat Biden's promise to only raise taxes on those earning more than $400,000.

'This modest increase in Medicare contributions from those with the highest incomes will help keep the Medicare program strong for decades to come,' Biden writes in the Times. The plan is also intended to close what the White House describes as loopholes that allow some incomes to avoid Medicare taxes.

Four income-driven repayment plans are available for federal student loans, but parent PLUS loan borrowers are eligible for only the . Payments are capped at 20% of a borrower´s monthly discretionary income for 25 years.

Any remaining debt is forgiven after that time.

Parents, who can borrow up to the total cost of attendance per child (minus other federal aid) with PLUS loans, use the loans to fill funding gaps after their student hits the borrowing limit of no more than $7,500 per year from the government.

The Prime Minister said Mr Putin is in charge of a 'cynical, barbaric government' and he believes Moscow could resort to deploying chemical weapons after its invasion stalled in the face of fierce resistance from Ukrainian forces.
